Book of the Week


This week's Book of the Week is:  'Ruby Redfort:  Look Into My Eyes' by Lauren Child.

If you liked the Clarice Bean books when you were younger, maybe you wished that her favourite fictional heroine, Ruby Redfort, really existed?  Well, wish no more, as Lauren Child gives life to this character in a book aimed at teens instead of tweens!

13-year-old Ruby is recruited by a secret agency to become a code breaker.  She's super-smart and always cool...but can she keep her mouth shut?
